Remote Virtual Disk Drive Emulator

["Great Hierophant" <great_hierophant@hotmail.com>]

I'm not sure that the subject is the right label for the concept I am
asking about.  What I want to do is the following:

I want to use a real Apple II with disk programs but without the disks
themselves.  All those disk images on a PC are difficult enough to copy
back onto disks, some like the .nib images are close to impossible.
However, isn't it possible to have the PC emulate an Apple II disk
drive and send a cable from the PC to the disk controller in slot #6?
After all, the Disk II is something of a dumb device, it just reads
when it gets the signal and writes when it gets another signal.  That
way an Apple II can run disk images ff a PC as if it were running the
disks themselves.  Even better, the disk can become a lot faster,
eliminating load times unless they are truly necessary.  

Feasible?
